About this title

About the Author:

Kōsuke Fujishima is a Japanese manga artist. Born in Chiba, Japan, he first came to public attention as an editor of Puff magazine, his first job after completing high school. Fujishima originally intended to be a draftsman, but took the editorial role after failing to get a drafting apprenticeship. He later became assistant to manga artist Tatsuya Egawa in the production of the Making Be Free! manga, and in 1986 began his first original manga series You're Under Arrest. His second manga series Oh My Goddess!, also translated as Ah! My Goddess, is extremely popular and has made Fujishima a household name in Japan. In addition, he is also well known as the character designer for several games in the Tales RPG video game series and Sakura Wars. The author lives in Tokyo, Japan.

From School Library Journal:

Adult/High School-The stories in volume three of this series are pretty evenly divided between material previously published in 1-555-GODDESS (Dark Horse, 1996; o.p.) and material left out of that book. The tales continue in an episodic vein, ranging from light romance as Keiichi works multiple jobs to buy an anniversary present for Belldandy to more slapstick humor when the Nekomi Tech Motor Club runs a beauty contest in which the talent portion involves repairing and racing motorcycles. The art is full of action and humor. An essential read for fans.
